EU to Overcome Hungary's Veto and Grant Aid to Ukraine at Summit

The European Union (EU) is determined to provide financial support to Ukraine, even if Hungary vetoes it at the upcoming summit. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has threatened to block budget support and membership talks for Ukraine, which are crucial for the country as it battles Russia's invasion. The EU is exploring alternative ways to provide assistance, such as allocating a smaller amount for a shorter period or extending national contributions from other EU countries. The EU is also considering adding an additional 5 billion euros for military aid to Ukraine. Orban's opposition to Ukraine's EU membership has raised concerns, and if he blocks the talks, related proposals for Georgia and Bosnia may also be affected.
